You guys are way late and obviously don't hang around as many hipsters as I do. Cassettes have been back in vogue for at least a year. A lot of local bands in Bloomington (IN) are releasing shit on cassette again. For a small band it kind of makes sense as a cost-cutting measure, but really it is pretty stupid and sounds like ass. If your band already sounds like ass then it's a GREAT idea!!

Yeah, it was released on cassette before it even came out on CD actually. Burger Records is a great cassette label. They've put out all The Black Lips albums on cassette too and I think they're planning on putting out JEFF The Brotherhood's. I've been purchasing new release cassettes for the past 3 years now and I kind of love it. They cost less than CDs, digital or vinyl in most cases. I don't know what all the backlash is about. It's just another format to have as an option. Eventually CDs will become a thing of nostalgia too. I actually spent over $100 on cassettes this month (mostly because I purchased the Of Montreal box set of their entire discography.)
